A snack that just satisfies your hunger is no longer enough. The demand for products to have more than one benefit\u2014be it health, convenience, or beauty\u2014is growing. The multi-billion market of collagen products is expected to grow at a rate of 6.5% per year worldwide.<\/p>\n

What is collagen? Why is it important?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s get into the nitty-gritty. First thing to know about collagen is that it\u2019s one of the most abundant proteins in your body. It\u2019s in your cartilage, tendons, ligaments and other membranes that provide support for your bones and muscles\u2014especially your joints.<\/p>\n

Our skin is also full of collagen. When we\u2019re young, our collagen fibers are stronger and densely packed together, which gives us the sought-after J-Lo glow and tight skin that we all want. As time goes on and we age, the fibers break down and spread out, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, as well as weakened joints.<\/p>\n

This is where injections have come into play in recent years. Some are collagen fillers, and some are collagen stimulators, however these can be very expensive and have a number of potential side effects. Boosting collagen in your system through foods and other supplements is a favorable alternative for those who want to experience the benefits of the protein without the invasiveness of an injection.<\/p>\n
